A survey of 2,000 college football fans found that 35% would choose to attend their team’s biggest rivalry game over a friend’s wedding.
Many football fans have extreme rituals, like “sleeping in my jersey” or “bathing in hot sauce” before games.
Despite losses, 92% of fans say they would remain loyal to their team. You can never abandon your team.
Below are some of the wildest sacrifices that football fans have done to go and see their favorite football team play:
“I hitched a ride from California to Indiana… It took me three days to get there.”
“I quit my job to be able to attend.”
“I called the radio station 100 times in a row to win tickets.”
“I drove 14 hours straight through a blizzard, called in “sick” from work and slept in my truck just to watch my boys play from the nosebleeds. [It was] totally worth it.”
“I once lied about a family emergency to get out of a wedding, drove six hours straight through a snowstorm and I slept in my car just to see my dream team play in a rivalry game.”
